Good training but I was hoping it was a class on stopping the bleed on America from biden.
You don’t want to be on the list of those organizations.Good training but I was hoping it was a class on stopping the bleed on America from biden.
This is a good class for ANYBODY. We all should know how to stop the bleed. This is not rocket science. And the instructor goes usually slow so as not to overwhelm the audience.
I have two certifications (from this fall) so I am good for another 18 months or so.
But if you are hesitant to attend, you should not be. The class isn't long and it is usually free. That's an unbeatable price for knowing how to save your loves ones if they get hurt.
I'd like to see these classes be offered more widely.I am a registered stop the bleed instructor as well. If you’re able to, please take this class. The information taught can be as valuable as cpr. We usually debunk a lot of myths people are familiar with regarding tourniquet use as well.

I need to take this class. I used to be a Basic Life Support instructor and it would be interesting to see if anything substance has changed.
Example
When I taught CPR the alternated between breaths and compression for single person. Now I believe the only do compression as that also provides ventilation.
Don't get leVieux started on TQ applications. He can't comprehend that applications of a TQ are an emergency especially in a fight that is ongoing don't preclude ER treatment and are only meant to get them to an ER. His god complex as a doc is still overpowering.
If it is "bleeding a lot" put on a TQ between the injury and the heart.In the classes I taught up north the big change for people was the wider use of the TQ. A lot of people still think it’s a last resort when, depending on the type of injury, location, blood etc. it may be the first intervention. It also covers wound packing, combat gauze etc.
Also, I just logged into the instructor portal and noticed a “Texas Only” presentation. I’m curious to review it.

Bleeding a lot could be a gusher or could be a lighter flow that isn't stopping...
TQs are great but don't forget (classes cover this) how to treat bleeders where a TQ won't work (shoulder, hip, pelvis, neck, head etc).
Approach the injury with:
"how do I solve the problem and what are my available tools"
Not with "how do I use this tool"
In some high level training I was a "casualty" and had a massively bleeding penetrating trauma to my groin/junctions area and someone put a TQ on my leg, below the injury when really it needed direct pressure and packing. As great as TQs are it is easy to forget there are places they just won't work, so always evaluate the problem, then quickly create a mental list of options to solve the problem, then choose the best one and go from there.
